Next tip for artists is to make sure and not get carried away with a job. Sometimes you get so excited about a possible job that you go above and beyond and try to do way more than requested of you and create all these complex and intricate designs that you're proud of only to then have the client not like it or fall through on approving the project. Be sure to find the balance between offering a quality service and being adequately compensated for you expertise
Hey TenHundred, I am not a murialist but as a 3D artist I found your video very helpful and applicable to digital artist. Thanks !
ohhhhh yes - thanks for the video, I can underline everything you said. Especially doing photomontages decreases a loot of problems - BUT NEVERRRR NEVERRR let the client alone with your print and the finished mural... Dunno why, but they start to compare, like they want to find a "mistake"... Destroy the print immediately when you are nearly done. And never let the client compare... this seems to be some psychological thing... good video - in case of pricing it is a little bit more complicated, but having a fixed price is always better than getting money per hour - especially if the client is staring at you while the whole process.... looking forward to more videos like this!
I’m a DIY Artist and I have done small projects over the years but never been paid. I’m a little insecure about charging because I’m not a trained artist…..
You may not be a lawyer but you don't have to be to draw up a good contract. It's helpful to look at other people's contracts for similar work. All the stuff that's in them usually represents something they had to learn the hard way. If you can get your hands on a few it gives a good base for reference. 50% and a separate rate deposit up front is great advice. If you can build in another 25% at certain stage of finish that's even better. Also - HE WHO keeps the best notes wins. Phone conversation followed by email confirmation of agreed points - man that has shut down SO MUCH bs for me over the years.
Im an illustrator and multi media artist (I do small murals on the side) and all of these tips are sooooo true! I had my last nightmare client and they taught me (I taught me afterward) so much about protecting myself and making sure we email eeeevvvveeerrryyything! If they can not communicate via email or messaging and thing We are going to just verbally talk about what they want... I run in the other direction. Thats been about 2 years ago and I haven't had that or any other major issues with clients since then! Just a bunch of angelic clients! Also keeping your ownership. I have illustrated over 200 books and unfortunately did not know how valuable I was. I no longer offer "Ghost" illustration after I saw my illustrations on a best selling book with another person as illustrator made me sick to my stomach! Yuck! You have as new Sub right here!
This is gold
This was great. Thank you.
Hey brother! Sasa here from Greece. I need you help. Can you please send me the colors you use that the murals withstand in outdoor weather conditions? I live in Corfu which often has storms. I want to paint the exterior walls in a kindergarten.
Bro, can you show your contract?
Another tip: The contract should include a clause that the mural can not be intentional destroyed or covered up without notifying you/the artist prior to removing/painting over the work. If the person/company commissioning the work doesn't own the building/wall they need have permission from the owner and hopefully get them to agree/sign the contract that they will contact the artist to repair/freshen the art work and that they will not remove/coverup or destroy the work before the artist has a chance to document/photograph the work or a way to remove it (i.e. if the mural was painted on detachable panels).
Thus video is amazing, thank so much for sharing your knowledge and experience! Something else I’ve found incredibly helpful is to add in a late fee for any late payments - it can help that company’s accounts team magically work faster 😅
oh yeah!! On the money man, I am literally going through this process right now. Super helpful yet again brother. Thanks.
You are so informative! Thank you. Please upload more more of these.
Super valuable info! Your channel is growing so fast!
Man, thank you for being the best teacher ever and a huge inspiration :)
Awesome video with very helpful tips, thanks!
Love you 10Hun. Watching and taking notes in my artist notebook so I can level up!
Good luck with all the new fans :) Thanks you for the valuable advice.
